In the stillness

Today was full, like lets see how much peanut butter you can possibly fit on your bread kind of a day. Is anyone else as guilty as I am for putting large helpings of PB on your your PB&J? Makes you want a large glass of water to wash it all down!

Lots of wonderful people (and to-dos) but I just needed a tall glass of water to wash it all down.

As it was coming to a close, I stepped outside to find this beauty without even a raindrop.

Then, the house got quiet: guests fed and happy, one adventurous boy to bed, daddy finishing up some last minute details, the lights dimmed and the world got quiet. I got to rock this sweet girl for a few precious minutes before she headed off to bed.

"He calmed the storm to a whisper and stilled the waves. What a blessing was that stillness as he brought them safely into harbor! Let them praise the Lord for His great love and for the wonderful things He has done for them." Psalm 107:29-31
